Button 066: Princeton, Wisconsin Landmark (high school)

The Farmers-Merchants National Bank in
"downtown" Princeton WI commissioned Krupp's Pinback
Jack division to create a series of buttons depicting Princeton
landmarks. These were to be used as premiums for its customers.
The bank requested that button No. 1 portray the "Old High
School." It was an odd choice, considering that city fathers
had torn down the "landmark" a few years earlier to
create a parking lot. Though reportedly a popular premium, the
bank officer soon left town, the project was abandoned and countless
magnificent buildings in Princeton were left unmemorialized.
Design by Peter Poplaski. 2.25" diameter. $2.00

One note, for serious button collectors,
you may want to read the KSP
BUTTON TEXT which explains the numbering systems for
identifying the various buttons produced over the last 30 years,
or see the COMPLETE
KSP BUTTON LIST. The list is VERY long, so be patient
while it loads.
